DEVELOPING

YOUNG PLAYERS SENIOR LEADERSHIP

BY PETE DUFOUR FOR THE AUBURN JOURNAL

the challenge for Placer Football

T

he pads are popping on Placer’s football practice field, school is underway, and the heat is on.

Heading into Placer’s final season in the Pioneer Valley League, the Hillmen are seen by many to be the favorite for the PVL title. With a record low 10 seniors on the squad, head coach Joey Montoya is not sure what the fuss is all about.

“Look at Colfax, Lincoln, Center, Bear River,” Montoya said. “There’s tons of talent and coaches who have 200 wins.

The PVL may have lost some enrollment, but it’s a tough football league.”

20

Placer’s success will rely heavily on the 29 juniors on the squad. Some of these juniors, like fullback Mario Perez, quarterback Michael Stuck and lineman Joey Capra, played varsity last year as sophomores, but this remains a young Placer team.

So if Placer is expected to be the team to beat, it may have something to do with its own coaching staff, which cobbled together a 7-6 won-loss record after an 0-3 start, a share of the PVL title with Lincoln, and an improbable run to the section finals. It was an overachieving

HILLMEN PRIDE 2017 — A publication of the Auburn Journal

bunch of players who battled through four season-ending injuries to starting players.

Star halfback Anthony Kerrigan missed nearly four games with a foot injury.

So with three section finals in nine years, and an unprecedented five straight PVL championships, picking Placer to repeat as PVL champs is not a huge gamble.

To win a sixth straight title, the Hillmen will have to find leaders on and off the field. Montoya and his veteran staff have been spending a lot of time developing leadership with a program he calls the “Senior Cabinet.”

“Our seniors have a meeting before the season starts, they get a leadership packet, and we work on leadership. They help bring everyone along,” Montoya said. “If we had to rely on the coaches to motivate the entire team, we’d be in trouble. This is about the student athlete, it’s their time to shine, their memories.”

As an example, senior Kerrigan approached Montoya and noted that one of his teammates did not have internet access and wondered if he could borrow a TV monitor after practice to break down video from last season.

“That’s what I’m talking about right there, perfect example,” Montoya said.

“That’s a senior looking out for a junior.”

Placer should be more explosive this year with the addition of speedster Travis Warren at wide receiver. Warren, who did not play football last year, runs the 40-yard dash just a tick over 4.5, maybe a step faster than Kerrigan. With bruising fullback Mario Perez and strong armed Stuck at QB, the Hillmen look very solid in the offensive backfield. Placer lost some experience on the offensive line, but Capra and company are showing promise as a unit.

Tight end Louis Fudge is a bruising blocker with good hands and 4.7 speed. Safeties Collin Wright and Johnny Callahan return on defense, where the Hillmen will try to fill the void left by Morgan Rein-Robinson, the PVL’s defensive player of the year, who had 13 sacks and 79 tackles in his senior year. Junior linebacker Andrew Garza is turning heads.

“With mostly juniors, I think this is a team that will hit its stride mid-season,” said Montoya. “They are working hard.”

Placer opens its season at August 25 home against former D-I Power Pleasant Grove, which is rebuilding with new head coach Matt Costa.

The Hillmen will visit Nevada Union Sept. 1 to try and avenge last year’s 16-12 loss to the Miners, where NU scored all their points in the fourth quarter.

Central Coast Section powerhouse Aptos, with Randy Blankenship at the helm, comes calling Sept. 8. Aptos has won six straight Santa Cruz Coast Conference titles and three section championships in the last four years. Laguna Creek and Vista del Lago fill out a formidable preseason.
